Our Taurus line of grips are modified from standard 1911 grips to account for the differences between the Taurus PT1911 and standard 1911 grips. These grips are designed to be a direct replacement of the factory grips, using the factor screws. All Taurus grips include a right side amibextrous safety cut and are relieved at the top to clear the Taurus safety levers.
These grips are manufactured with Dymondwood, a laminated wood that uses phenolic resins, heat and pressure to create a dense and strong material.
The grips are shaped in the traditional 1911 style with the top of the left side panel slightly covering the plunger tube and the bottoms of the grip panel beveled. These grips leave the mainspring housing pin exposed unless the covered pin option is selected.
These grips are built with a typical 1911 thickness that fully fits the hand without being overly thick. Grip thickness runs between .255" and .265" thick at the center of the grip.
Our smooth grips are sanded and buffed smooth. No finish is applied to the grips as the Dymondwood polishes to a shine and makes the material very water and oil resistant without any added finish. Our checkered grips are all cnc cut checkering with a phenolic finish is applied over the checkered areas. Our checkering is cut at 20 lines per inch.
These are production grips so the grips you receive will not be the individual pair shown in the photo. Our photos represent the type and general character of the material but due to variances in the material colors and layer thicknesses, the visual appearance of the grips may be different. Also note that colors shown of computer monitors can vary greatly, affecting the representative colors. We do have a liberal return policy and can often help to select materials that will have the colors you'd like.
